Overview
A reformation process in which a planet or planetoid is converted over a given amount of time to a targeted environment. This can range from completely habitable with an intact ecosystem and endemic life, to completely barren of an atmosphere, ecosystem, life and leaving raw resources.
Seeding Process
The rapid process tends to desolate more sensitive ecosystems through a process of elimination in stages, and it depends upon the make-up of the original planet’s atmosphere. Most with a thin atmosphere of various gases are subject to being easier to being reformed. Using Earth as an example of size and atmospheric density, 3,958.8 mi./6369.4 km. in radius, and 1.2 kg/m3 in density, it would take roughly between 4 to 6 solar years, along with a fair tonnage of resources to power the process, to exchange it to a nominal state, though stripping the ecosystem of life, both fauna and flora if it is a planet that lacks a civilization. If the TSRC is deployed to a planet that is known to have a civilization of a prime, sentient species that shows intelligence, it is considered genocide on a planetary scale from all of the major galactic parties. Though, this hasn’t stopped some individuals from pursuing and committing to this act.
The slower process, which is mainly used to truly colonize a planet, takes far more resources and time to delicately alter the natural environment. Using the same scale of Earth in the Sol system, the time and resources taken is heavily multiplied, and it is dependent on how resistant the ecosystem is to rapid evolution and change. 10 to 20, even 35 Earth years has been recorded to convert some planets with similar traits to Earth in size and atmospheric density.
